Some Zeffirelli Love
It's not often these days that you get such a lengthy tribute to the "original" Romeo and Juliet on film, Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 version with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey. Worth a nostalgic look.
(Yeah yeah it's not the original, but it's arguably the definitive screen adaptation.)

Have to say, I think it is the best R&J on film - absolutely loved Mercutio.
Romeo's bottom made something of a splash too with all the implications of 'sex' which people seemed to have missed before. (Now, will an upcoming King Lear reveal more?)
Michael York set the standard for Tybalt.
